| Swearing Student Faces Jail Time http://www.click2houston.com/educati...84/detail.html Swearing Student Faces Jail Time North Carolina Teen Says Charge Is Overreaction POSTED: 1:08 pm EDT October 10, 2004 WILMINGTON, N.C. -- A North Carolina teenager may have to go to jail for using foul language with a high school teacher. Glenn Gattis and his parents don't deny that he cursed or has had other disciplinary problems at Ashley High School in Wilmington. But they said the misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct is an overreaction. The 17-year-old Gattis said he became frustrated and used bad language when he got in trouble for being late to class again. He said he was ultimately stopped by deputies working as school resource officers, who gave him a citation for using language meant to provoke violence. He was also suspended for three days. Gattis' mother said she could understand if her son had to serve detention at school. But he could get up to 30 days in jail. The family has hired a lawyer to fight the charge. School officials aren't commenting. Copyright 2004 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved. __________________ Family Ties Seasons 1-5 on dvd!  | |||

| Doesn't the school think that's a bit harsh? I mean, he used a few curse words, who hasn't? __________________ LJ | News & Politics | Battlestar Galactica | TS2 | PS  Watch Battlestar Galactica every Friday at 10pm! [/B] | |||
